Pumpkin Carving and Maddie's Birthday

We finally have a blog! I am super excited because now I don't have to email 100 pictures to everyone every time we do something fun. Plus now everyone in both our families can see what we're up to, which I'm sure they have just been dying to do.

For Family Night last week we carved a pumpkin which was really fun. Actually mostly Trevor just carved it while Tanner tried to eat all the pumpkin seeds and Maddie ran away screaming "NOOOOO" every time we asked her to pull out some pumpkin innards. She wouldn't even pull out one pumpkin seed!

So we carved that pumpkin last week and then tonight for Family Night we actually carved another pumpkin because this one is getting all rotten and we made it a "happy" pumpkin because this one was pretty scary, but we didn't take any pictures of it.

The big event that we had last week besides pumpkin carving was Maddie's birthday! We all tried really hard to make it a fun and special day for her and she had so much fun! First thing in the morning she got to go on a dirt bike ride with Trevor, which she loved!

The princess castle cake. This is by far the hardest cake I have ever made but it was worth it! It definitely didn't turn out perfect but it was fun to make and Maddie sat by me the whole time I was making it waiting to put the princesses on the castle, so that made it even more fun.



Then as soon as Kalie got home from school (on a Flex Friday??) we started partying!

It was really funny because every time someone would say "Happy Birthday!" to Maddie, she would say "Happy Birthday!" back to them, like it's a holiday or something.

I think Maddie's favorite part of her birthday was when we were all singing "Happy Birthday" to her.

Tanner was only allowed to play with the wrapping and cardboard boxes but he had just as much fun as Maddie!
